Edward Murrow was one of the biggest names in broadcasting during his time. He was mostly known for coving the McCarthy scandals and exposing Senator McCarthy's idiotic ideas to the public. This was one of the biggest scandals in United States history. I believe if he was able to be so successful covering this story, then he would definitely be successful during this time. As a whole, society today loves to here about scandals. We thrive off of what is going on and how serious it is. It creates something for us to gossip about. Mr. Murrow was great at informing Americans of what was going on. He did not hold back when it came to calling out Senator McCarthy. I believe Americans today would appreciate this quality. The only thing that possibly could keep him from being as successful was his style. Today, the audiences personalities have greatly changed. It would probably be necessary for him to change his style in order to get a lot of viewers. Today many people need it to be extremely interesting and entertaining in order to watch the program rather than just watching a man sit there with a blank back drop and just ramble on about a subject. But I do believe if he was able to change his style up to a more modern day approach then he would be very successful today. Many people would be captivated by his information and news.

Please resize pictures to fit more neatly into the blog. Check your blog for errors covering, not coving. Lots of people see the blog, so you need to proof it before posting. What kind of style would he have to adopt. Be specific. Remember, you must not be vague in your blog. He would not be able to smoke on television.
